Classy Italian in the Byward Market. They do a variety of sauce styles but the red (tomato or pomodoro) sauces and oil based pastas are considered vegan. Ingredients can be modified to be vegan. interesting combinations like pine nuts and raisins. When the weather is warm, sit on the patio in the courtyard or sit upstairs in a cozy atmosphere.

Zazaza Pizza with Pizzaz *stay tuned, might be changing in the near future
1079 Wellington St. W. (Hintonburg)
Modern Pizzeria in Hintonburg. Lot’s of gourmet veggie toppings like eggplant, hummus, zucchini, asparagus, artichoke, and mushrooms. You’ll have to go cheeseless, but sometimes that is awesome in it’s own right. Double check on butter sauteed veggies and ask for an alternative.
La Dolce Vita

Quaint and rather small restaurant on Preston. Even if you don’t avoid gluten you’ll want to try the delicious gluten free cashew pesto vegan pizza.You have to ask for it specifically and there is an extra charge. Try it with the already vegetarian gourmet pizzas, with no cheese. This is a delicious spot in Little italy.
Roberto’s Pizza
348 Preston Street
Sports themed modern vibed pizza kitchen in little Italy. Lot’s of pre selected combos that can be made vegan minus the cheese. Think roasted kale, artichokes, porcini mushroom. Will let you sub an ingredient plus an extra substitute for not getting cheese! It’s healthiest with nothin’ faux dairy on it anyway! Sip a San Pellegrino and an espresso in this quaint location, perfect for a friend date.
Panago
1069 Bank St
(613 for Ottawa) 310-0001 (in Canada) (949-0001 Winnipeg)
The hype for Panago was big in the veg community and Panago didn’t disappoint! We have a classy new pizza place in town! Panago is definitely the order out style pizza you want to take on picnics, order to watch the game or take home for a romantic vegan date with a new friend. You could eat in in the small window seating (like if you just skated on the canal and you’re famished!). You have the option to choose from the veggie pizza menu and ask for daiya non dairy cheese (extra fee) or no cheese at all. Or, you can build your own delicious vegan pizza by toppings. What do I like about Panago? well, incredibly fast service (15 minutes from time of order), little perks like not too salty and multigrain or gluten free crust, it’s delicious and perhaps most importantly, helping to normalize the art of ordering and eating vegan food. Good on you Panago, I’m ready to place my next order!
